Thanks to everyone who donated to our fundraising project “$30,000
in 30 Days.” God blessed us, through your generosity, with $27,500, leaving us
only $2,500 to raise in some other way. We are so grateful to everyone who
decided to partner with us through giving and prayer!
We returned to Kyiv on August 1st and plan to be
here until December 18th. We have been meeting with both our college
age group on Friday nights and our young adult group on Sunday nights. In addition,
we have been spending time with individuals and families, sharing meals, reconnecting
and enjoying the last bit of summer.
We have submitted our paperwork for our temporary resident
permit renewal and are waiting for them to be issued, hopefully in the next few
weeks. As always there have been a few “repair projects” at the apartment –
seems like they always come in bunches, usually around the time we arrive back
in Kyiv!
I will be teaching Christian Worldview this fall at Evangel
Theological Seminary and conversational English classes at Grinchenko
University starting in September.
We are gearing up for a full and exciting fall! We are
thankful to have such great ministry partners, and we are praying that your
fall will also be enjoyable and fruitful as God continues to bless your life.
Grace and peace,
Kenny Payne
